I'm going to stop playing RO for a while (6~12 months).

What should I do with my zeny?

I have around 4b.

Should I invest in something like BB/OCA/MCA or keep them as pure zeny?

I want to at least keep my zeny value when I start playing again.

 

 

Another question...

Do you prefer to trade your MVP Card with BB/OCA/MCA (other than pure zeny of course)?

The market's really unpredictable so I'd just keep the zenies. While you're gone, a handful of boxes that contain whatever you may invest in could have already popped up in the cash shop.

Pure zeny, I would recommend at least scanning the market every few weeks if you can, playing the market for just like 30 minutes a week you could net a lot of zeny over a year. A few days after a new item releases is generally when the price crashes the lowest especially if it's in a good box/readily available.

Pure zeny. Value of zeny doesn't diminish.

Actually, the value of zeny, in relation to market items, does fluctuate, drop, and rise. The value of zeny in relation to npc bought items such as white potions, flywings, etc. Never changes.

100m zeny 10 years ago is like 1 billion zeny now.

The way it works is, the more zeny in circulation, the less each individual zeny is worth. When there's less zenny in circulation, the more valuable it becomes.

I feel like there's been some serious deflation in the past year or 2 actually. Zeny seems to buy a lot more than it used to in terms of useful things/supplies/etc

They need to put in some type of zeny sink again imo. Maybe the raffle npc should make a comeback!

That's economics 101. Keep it as pure zeny, but you might want to keep an eye out from time to time. In hindsight, your purchasing power diminishes as certain merchandise become obsolete or inflation occurs.

unless all merchandise becomes obsolete, I don't see how your purchasing power would be affected.

if you're afraid of hyperinflation, you could invest in the server's equivalent of gold, be they bmx3s or bbs, and just sit on them.

Kafra Blossom Card price has increased to 700M each. I think we are due for a raffle. It's been a while since the last zeny sink.

If you look deep into this, nice joke.

 

Otherwise move along nothing to see here.

If you're looking to invest, i'd say invest in the items from boxes that are out now, like heroic backpacks. 

 

Dont invest in consumables like battle manuals, those will probably keep getting distributed. 

 

But with heroic backpacks?  whats the worst that can happen, you invest now while theyre cheap only to come back and they're still....cheap?  You'd lose a trivial amount of zeny compared to your 4b if you did this imo.

Playing with the market in iRO is a real business. Im learning alot about econ from this thread ><

Just to give my opinion to OP, keeping zeny I would say and completely forget RO for 6-12 months. Its not really worth checking market everyday or once every two days during your RO break.

Never invest in gear that has the potential to have something better come out. If something better comes out no one wants the 2nd best.

Exactly, and consumables disappear and thus will always have investment potential
